The raison d'être of the technical textis in the access it affords to its referents. It follows that technical translationinvolves reverbalizing these referents rather than mapping semiotic structures fromsource-to target-language, as is the case with the other, more "hybrid" forms ofdiscourse, in which functions of language other than the purely referential play arole. The source-language formulation is thus relatively unimportant. In the extremecase, which is not necessarily that of a poorly written source text, it can even bebypassed altogether, the translator drawing his information from the non-linguisticsegments of the source text (equations, diagrams and the like) and verbalizing itdirectly in the target language.For Ivan Hirst, from whom I learned most of what Iknow about technical translation. The technical translator's stock in trade is anin-depth understanding of the referent. The following article proposes a number ofteaching strategies designed to sensitize non-specialist students to the importanceof the referent, to help them acquire the minimal background they will need to dealwith texts in a given field and to enable them to reduce technical texts to theirunderlying referents
